Infinity mirrors are a set of mirrors configured in such a way that light sources inside of them appear to multiply to “infinity.” Since one-way mirrors are used on at least one surface, you can look into this strange light field, observing what you might have seen by accident in a gym or other situation where two mirrors are facing each other. Here are 20 models that people have built to create this type of illusion!

Round Mirrors

These simple builds are a good place to start

This build video should give you a little background if you’d like to build a simple model.

Finally, I built my mirror frame (pictured below) out of furring strips I had let over from other projects. It turned out pretty well, though perhaps some of the techniques seen here could have saved me time!
